Posting on behalf of Helen, who has computer problems at the moment.
Unfortunately, due to illness, Shaun will not be starting in Seven Brides For Seven Brothers this week. It is unlikely he will be fit enough to return to work for several weeks.
Any updates will be posted here or on Shaun's website (once Helen is back online again).

Although Shaun isn't appearing in Seven Brides at the moment, I went to see it at the Cliffs Pavilion yesterday. Kind of in honour of Shaun's birthday!
Enjoyed it very much. There's a review in our local paper, the Evening Echo, tonight:
Classic western musical sparkles
by Charlotte Potter
Grab your cowboy hat and head for the Cliffs Pavilion. Seven Brides For Seven Brothers is a must see.
This show is brilliant fun.
It has a sparkling cast of talented, all-singing, all-dancing actors, who belt out the musical's classic tunes with great gusto.
Despite scenery sometimes trying to upstage the actors - with doors opening by themselves and larger pieces being moved around in the background - nothing could detract from this quality production.
The scenery is imaginative and, when it comes to the big dance numbers, it's great to see actors leaping over tables and using all the space and props provided.
The choreography is energetic, fast-paced and holds a few surprises and there's also a creative use of computer graphics.
Dave Willetts, who plays Adam Pontipee, and Shona Lindsay, who takes the role of Milly, are well placed in the leads, neither having any trouble hitting every note perfectly.
The seven brothers bring a really cheeky feel to the show and seem to have a real bond between them.
So all good then! The computer graphic bit is different, is the scene where the brothers kidnap the girls from the town to take them back to their farm and involves an avalanche. Is clever. I didn't see any doors opening by themselves but did notice the large scenery moving around in the background, and it did look a bit weird. Oh, and the big dance bit at the end involving the entire cast is very impressive - think line dancing! Shaun would have fun with that bit, lol!
Hopefully he'll still be able to join the tour when he's fully fit after his illness.
